Has anyone taken Personal Finance?

[dfrecore]

I'm about to schedule my Personal Finance DSST, but I'm not sure how far out I should push it. I'm a tad apprehensive because this will be my first DSST/CLEP.

How long should I devote to studying? I was planning on staying for a month, but I've heard it's rather simple. Do you have any study materials that you would recommend?

I took it cold and passed with ease, but honestly, it depends on where you're at in life as to how easy it is for you.

Your best bets: 1) get an older Master the DSST V1 book, read up, take the pre-tests to see how you're doing; 2) get the exam content outline from the website, and study what you don't know from there.  It also has suggested study material.
